CORE - Community OUTreach Educators - is the LGBT Resource Center's peer education program. CORE members are trained to educate others regarding sexual orientation and gender identity; raise awareness of the LGBTQIA+ and allies community, and represent the LGBT Resource Center.

This interest form is required to become a future CORE member. Students of all sexual orientations & gender identities may join CORE.

After completing any required training, CORE members may speak on panels, outreach to the UCR campus, and support educational programs. We also bring together CORE members for special events, celebrations, and other community-building activities.

Your first step to becoming a CORE member is to complete this interest form. LGBTRC Program Coordinator Kade Lukiyo will contact you regarding Fall events for students interested in joining CORE.

The next step to officially join CORE will be to attend a required CORE Retreat in Winter Quarter (Day/Time are TBD). If work or other obligations prevent you from attending the Retreat, you must attend a separate training before becoming an active CORE member.

You do not need any prior experience speaking on panels or otherwise reaching out or educating. Also, you are not required to speak on panels until you feel ready.

If you have any questions, please contact LGBT Resource Center staff:
Kade Lukiyo, kade.lukiyo@ucr.edu

This vignette includes : information on your status as a student (year, major, organizations you are involved in), how you'd describe your sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, other identities that may be important to you (faith, ethnicity, etc), and any hobbies or interests you'd like to share.

A sample vignette: "Hi, my name is Zuko and my pronouns are he/him. I am a first-year and undeclared. I identify as a pansexual man. I grew up in the city of Caldera in the Fire Nation. I am active in the martial arts club, and work at the Jasmine Dragon Tea Shop. In my free time, I am the crown prince of the fire nation. I also enjoy saving the world with my friends. A lot."
